The latest film from legendary filmmaker Ken Loach and screenwriter Paul Laverty, ANGEL'S SHARE is a bittersweet comedy about a young man from Glasgow with a criminal past who wants a way out. Following a court appearance during which he's sentenced to community service, Robbie sneaks into the hospital to visit his girlfriend Leonie and their newborn son and is subsequently overwhelmed. He swears that Luke will not lead the same life has had led.
